Fogo de Chao

Permits filed to remodel the old Bravo at 13810 N Penn, just north of the turnpike.

Will be the first location in Oklahoma.

Nice! And it will kill at that location!

this is a very very good get

Nice!! I've been wondering what would go in there. Always thought it would be a good spot for a Cheesecake Factory..

[OKCRealtor]

Nice! I would think that would do well there.

This is almost big enough news to get me to move back to OKC!

I like Texas de Brazil but Fogo de Chao is just slightly better in my opinion for the meats... I'll give TdB the edge on the salad bar but I don't go to a churrascaria for the salad.

Any estimate on an opening date? I'd sure like to have this for a birthday dinner this year.

I concur with your assessment. I was actually telling my wife the same thing before I saw your post! I haven't tried rodizio yet, but it is on my list.

I can't eat nearly as much as my younger days, so I tend to go for 1 really good steak like at the ranch or mahogany vs all I can eat at these places.

Good to see okc getting more dining options. The more competition the better!

Nice! It only took Bravo going out of business twice before getting something good in there.

I have been proven wrong. As told to us in the arena thread, OKC citizens can't afford tickets to Thunder games, so how on earth will they afford this?

I've eaten there a couple of times in other locations and it's a very good restaurant.

LMK when they have pineapple.

I do wish is just wasn't quite so pricey. It's delicious and it makes total sense as to why the price is what it is. Just bring your stretchy pants if you want to get your dollar's worth. LOL

Glad to see this great addition coming to OKC! When I lived in Plano, would frequent the one on Beltline in Addison.

[Decious]

Just drove by this location. Looks like the remodel has started. Lots of activity.

They finally put out a press release:

**********



Oklahoma City — Fogo de Chão, the internationally renowned restaurant from Brazil, has signed a lease agreement to open its first Oklahoma location in Oklahoma City. The new 8,439-square-foot restaurant is scheduled to open later this year at 13710 Pennsylvania Ave. in Memorial Square.

“We are excited to introduce Fogo to the Oklahoma market and expand our Southwest footprint with our first restaurant in Oklahoma City,” says Barry McGowan, chief executive officer of Fogo de Chão. “Our restaurant will serve as a memorable addition to Oklahoma City’s dining scene and we look forward to sharing the Culinary Art of Churrasco with new guests in OKC soon.”

Designed in partnership with global architecture and design agency Harrison, the Oklahoma City restaurant will showcase Fogo’s recent brand transformation featuring enhanced design elements like outdoor and enclosed patio areas, menu optionality and innovation platforms like a dry-aged meat locker for in-house aging. A Market Table will anchor the restaurant and feature seasonal salads, fresh superfoods, cured meats, antipasti and more. In the new restaurant, engaging social gathering spaces will be layered throughout Bar Fogo and the dining room.

Fogo de Chão (fogo-dee-shown) was founded in Southern Brazil in 1979. For more information, visit https://fogo.com/ and www.fogodechao.com.

I am SO excited for this! I tried them for the first time last month, down in Irving, and holy crap it was amazing! I only have Texas De Brazil to compare in this style of restaurant, but Fogo was leagues above! I'm not even a big pork fan, but I couldn't get enough of their parmesan crusted pork! All of the sides and salads were top notch as well, i don't normally use a salad bar, but i hit this one up twice. They had a Creme Brulee Cheesecake that was out of this world good; each side was bruleed! Now, the meal was almost $100 a person, so I don't see myself getting here often, but is a seriously great special night out spot!
